Surviving Participants, Operation TORCH

Were you aquainted with Colonel William H. Wilbur, Colonel Demas Craw and/or Major Morgan Hamilton? Wilbur was Chief of Staff, I Armored Corps / Western Task Force. Craw was Deputy CoS (G-2) and Hamilton was Craw's assistant. You were obviously a junior officer and not likely to have known them socially but may have worked with them during joint planning in London or during operations in and around Algeria & Morocco. Craw and Hamilton were killed by the French while trying to negotiate a cease-fire. I believe Wilbur transferred to AFHQ or NATO when WTF was dissolved and I Armored Corps was disbanded. Per my e-mail, send me some names and I'll try to help you locate what few that are still around.
